1. Computing Research that Changed the World: Reflections and Perspectives Organized by the Computing Community Consortium Honorary Co-Sponsors: Congressman Bart Gordon (D-TN) Congressman Ralph Hall (R-TX) Congressman Daniel Lipinski (D-IL) Congressman Vern Ehlers (R-MI) Congressman Rush Holt (D-NJ) Senator Jay Rockefeller (D-WV)

2. Changing the World! Ed Lazowska Bill & Melinda Gates Chair in Computer Science & Engineering University of Washington Chair, Computing Community Consortium

3. z Advances in computing change the way we live, work, learn, and communicate z Advances in computing drive advances in nearly all other fields z Advances in computing power our economy y Not just through the growth of the IT industry – through productivity growth across the entire economy Computing has changed the world

8. z A day without the Internet and all that it enables z A day without diagnostic medical imaging z A day during which automobiles lacked electronic ignition, antilock brakes, and electronic stability control z A day without digital media – without wireless telephones, high-definition televisions, MP3 audio, DVD video, computer animation, and videogames z A day during which aircraft could not fly, travelers had to navigate without benefit of GPS, weather forecasters had no models, banks and merchants could not transfer funds electronically, factory automation ceased to function, and the US military lacked technology supremacy Imagine spending a day without information technology
